How Do I Prepare for My Tattoo Appointment?


Preparing for your tattoo appointment is key to ensuring a smooth and successful experience. At Inkestry Custom Tattoos, we recommend taking a few steps to get ready:


#1. Get a Good Night’s Sleep

Make sure you’re well-rested before your appointment. Being tired can increase your sensitivity to pain and make the experience less enjoyable.


2. Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water the day before and the day of your appointment. Hydrated skin takes ink better and heals faster.


3. Eat a Healthy Meal

Have a nutritious meal before your session to keep your energy levels up. Low blood sugar can make you feel lightheaded or faint during the tattooing process.


4. Wear Comfortable Clothing

Dress in comfortable clothes that allow easy access to the area where you’ll be getting tattooed. Loose clothing is best, as it won’t rub against the fresh tattoo afterward.


5. Bring Entertainment

Tattoo sessions, especially for larger pieces, can take several hours. Bringing headphones, a book, or something to keep you entertained can help pass the time.


6. Avoid Alcohol and Blood Thinners

Avoid alcohol, aspirin, and other blood thinners for at least 24 hours before your appointment. These can increase bleeding during the tattooing process, which may affect the quality of the tattoo.


7. Plan Your Aftercare

Make sure you have everything you need for aftercare at home, such as a recommended ointment and mild, fragrance-free soap. Your artist will provide detailed instructions on how to care for your new tattoo.


At Inkestry, we’re here to make your tattoo experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Taking these steps to prepare will help ensure you’re ready for your session and that your tattoo heals beautifully.
